Is there an easy way to do the same for a *.mpg video file?? I have a number of files that are averaging 1Gb each. Smaller files will start playing in mediaplayer while they are downloading but these don't seem to. I am assuming it is due to their large size.

What what is "the best" soundcard supported by FreeBSD 5.4? Is there a supported card that can do 32bit (or at least 24bit) samples at 96kHz? The sound(4) manpage says that The driver works best with WSS/MSS cards, which have a very clean architecture and an orthogonal set of features. They also happen to be among the cheapest audio cards on the market. How do I find out whether a given card is a WSS/MSS card? Would you explicitly recommend one of these?

The lack of a video capture framework for FreeBSD comes up all the time and is really hurting FreeBSD, Apps like TVTime, MythTV and Gnommeeting don't work properly on FreeBSD and this will cause people not to use it (we don't actually have a decently performing TV app on FreeBSD - mplayer is about as good as it gets and whilst that maintains a decent framerate, latency is nasty.).

Really? It doesn't work at all for me, never has (on 4.11 and 5.4). It seems to hang doing something audio related :( In the end I wrote my own (modifying an example from the bktr page) which= =20 uses the Xv extension to get the video card to do the colour space=20 conversion.

What exactly does "drq 1:5" mean? Is this the "secondary DMA channel" which man snd_sbc speaks about? If so, what is "secondary" about it, ie what is the "primary DMA channel"? e) the DMA buffer is 4096 bytes; what does the "d" stand for? f) the device is driven by the snd_sb16 module g) it has one playback channel, one record channel, and one virtual channel; it is capable of full duplex (ie, can playback and record at the same time); it is the default audio device.

FreeBSD is not a top-down organization, it is bottom-up. In terms of getting new functionality in, it is not concepts such as "leadership" and "direction" that are important, it is "volunteers" and "time" and "determination". Translation: this won't happen until and unless one or more volunteers step up and put their time into it. mcl From owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Aug 24 18:34:39 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: multimedia@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 830BD16A41F for ; Wed, 24 Aug 2005 18:34:39 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from molter@tin.it) Received: from vsmtp4.tin.it (vsmtp4.tin.it [212.216.176.224]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 244AA43D48 for ; Wed, 24 Aug 2005 18:34:38 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from molter@tin.it) Received: from gattaccio.codalunga (83.201.156.22) by vsmtp4.tin.it (7.2.060.1) (authenticated as molter@tin.it) id 430CA73A00007153; Wed, 24 Aug 2005 20:34:19 +0200 Received: by gattaccio.codalunga (Postfix, from userid 1001) id 2A2F7C34A; Wed, 24 Aug 2005 20:33:24 +0200 (CEST) Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2005 20:33:24 +0200 From: Marco Molteni To: freebsd4@fadesa.es Message-Id: <20050824203324.02c34efa.molter@tin.it> In-Reply-To: <430C5F57.701753DB@fadesa.es> References: <20050824094931.A9DB043D45@mx1.FreeBSD.org> <430C5F57.701753DB@fadesa.es> X-Mailer: Sylpheed version 1.0.4 (GTK+ 1.2.10; i386-portbld-freebsd6.0) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Cc: multimedia@freebsd.org Subject: Re: USB camera X-BeenThere: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Multimedia discussions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2005 18:34:39 -0000 On Wed, 24 Aug 2005 13:51:51 +0200 "Jos=E9 M.

I have it checked in to the perforce tree but haven't yet had time to do work on integrating it. Christian Gusenbauer (CC'd) has written it.

If we all developed in CVS, then we'd have tons of broken features with no one able to fix anything because Jim Bob's code is broken, but he can't fix it because Mary Sue's code has issues, but of course Mary Sue is having difficulty because Jim Bob's code in broken...

I'm assuming it's technical enough to warrant a post here. I have a STB capture card, distributed in an OEM package by Gateway. (I purchased it through eBay for $12.) It has a bt878 chip, and I have it hooked to an SB Live! card with a four-pin audio cable, internally. The card has both RCA and S-Video video inputs, a 'headphone'-style jack for audio input, and two coaxial inputs - one for cable TV, the other for an FM antenna. I used it over the summer to play Halo 2 through, with Windows XP and btwincap. I needed to change a few settings, (specifically, the presence of and addresses of a few chips) as noted in http://btwincap.sourceforge.net/faq.html, for sound to play: (what follows is a quote from that page) - TDA 9850 set to "Yes", 12c address 0xb6, (also try 0xb4 if audio does not work) - TEA 6420 set to "Yes", 12c address 0x98 - TDA 7432 set to "Yes", 12c address 0xff (the driver will autodetect it) I usually have to set the TDA 9850 I2C address to 0xb4 to make sound play. I use ATV2000 after that, and have no problems with S-Video input, cable TV, etc. - everything works. I tried Knoppix a while ago - using fxtv through its relatively easy configuration script, (essentially, all it asks is, what card do you have, what tuner does it have, etc.) I was able to make everything work - with sound - without any changes. I've been trying a number of things to get sound to play in FreeBSD. Here is a list of things I've tried so far: fxtv auto/internal switch: does nothing. mixer all volumes to 100: necessary, of course, for this to work, but does nothing. xawtv: no change from fxtv. (these are the only two FreeBSD capture card-specific applications I know of; mplayer was also tried, with no result.) new msp34xx patch: no change noted. playing with various hw.bt848 (848...?) sysctl tunables: no change. doing anything to the emu10k1 driver/using emu10kx: no change. (this isn't the problem, I'm pretty sure.) kernel sourcediving: found a few references to TDA 98something, and messed around with a few things, but ... really no changes noted. Here are some relevant-looking lines from dmesg: bktr0: mem 0xd0001000-0xd0001fff irq 5 at device 15.0 on pc= i0 bktr0: STB TV/PCI, Philips FR1236 NTSC FM tuner, dbx stereo. pci0: at device 15.1 (no driver attached) uname -a reports that I'm using FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p6.

I'll be moving into a dorm room (hopefully) once the term starts, and it'll probably be annoying to switch to Windows XP from FreeBSD just to watch a few NHL games, and my computer is slow enough to make anything like VMware infeasible.

Okay I'll rephrase. Somebody did step up, a Video4BSD spec was partially written and is probably still on the web somewhere. There a plenty of people interested in working on this (its probably quite a fun project), but nobody wants to step on anyone else's toes afaict.

Also it will favour the BSD community and you could enjoy with multimedia appls. and you favourite OS.

Well, I think I implemented almost all of the v4l2 framework. Then I took t= he=20 =46reeBSD bktr driver, separated the radio/tuner part and got it working as= a=20 v4l2 aware driver, too. This driver registers with the framework and=20 a /dev/v4l2/radio0 entry is being created. I got fmtools-0.99.0 up and=20 running, too. But there is a difference to the original Linux framework. AFAIR, in Linux,= =20 one of the kernel structures holds the open file handle, but in FreeBSD=20 there's no place for it. So I changed the internals of the framework a bit,= =20 but the API for the applications should be the same as for Linux. What's missing is the video part. I had not enough specs about the v4l2=20 framework to get it running. And - what was the main problem for me - I did= =20 not have time to rewrite the bktr driver as v4l2 driver. You know, no=20 information about the v4l2 framework and no information about the bktr driv= er=20 internals ... so I gave up. > thanks > marco Ciao, Christian. --nextPart33088931.MU1fa5WOmo Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBDDiSr73Wh/GTgh8wRAscFAJwMpDv51z0C4gvRxGOm17rewufraQCbBqkt RIiknf8tPSVxE6LbGK9jpeY= =ayZc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart33088931.MU1fa5WOmo-- From owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Aug 25 22:06:51 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E051116A41F for ; Thu, 25 Aug 2005 22:06:51 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from torfinn.ingolfsen@broadpark.no) Received: from osl1smout1.broadpark.no (osl1smout1.broadpark.no [80.202.4.58]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6AD2643D46 for ; Thu, 25 Aug 2005 22:06:51 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from torfinn.ingolfsen@broadpark.no) Received: from osl1sminn1.broadpark.no ([80.202.4.59]) by osl1smout1.broadpark.no (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.1 HotFix 0.05 (built Oct 21 2004)) with ESMTP id <0ILS00FZ2TICTW70@osl1smout1.broadpark.no> for freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org; Fri, 26 Aug 2005 00:08:36 +0200 (CEST) Received: from kg-work.kg4.no ([80.202.174.153]) by osl1sminn1.broadpark.no (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.1 HotFix 0.05 (built Oct 21 2004)) with SMTP id <0ILS00F8PTKMQV40@osl1sminn1.broadpark.no> for freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org; Fri, 26 Aug 2005 00:09:58 +0200 (CEST) Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2005 00:06:36 +0200 From: Torfinn Ingolfsen X-Face: "t9w2,-X@O^I`jVW\sonI3.,36KBLZE*AL[y9lL[PyFD*r_S:dIL9c[8Y>V42R0"!"yb_zN,f#%.[PYYNq; m"_0v; ~rUM2Yy!zmkh)3&U|u!=T(zyv,MHJv"nDH>OJ`t(@mil461d_B'Uo|'nMwlKe0Mv=kvV?Nh@>Hb<3s_z2jYgZhPb@?Wi^x1a~Hplz1.zH In-reply-to: <20050825195625.3661dd05.torfinn.ingolfsen@broadpark.no> To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Message-id: <20050826000636.545b6b8f.torfinn.ingolfsen@broadpark.no> MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Sylpheed version 1.0.5 (GTK+ 1.2.10; i386-portbld-freebsd5.4) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT References: <20050825195625.3661dd05.torfinn.ingolfsen@broadpark.no> Subject: Re: USB audio device testing: "Audio Advantage Micro" made by Turtle Beach X-BeenThere: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Multimedia discussions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2005 22:06:52 -0000 On Thu, 25 Aug 2005 19:56:25 +0200 Torfinn Ingolfsen wrote: > /var/log/messages shows: > Aug 25 19:39:19 kg-work kernel: uaudio: This device can't play in > rate=44100.

Somebody did step up, a Video4BSD spec was partially written and is probably still on the web somewhere. There a plenty of people interested in working on this (its probably quite a fun project), but nobody wants to step on anyone else's toes afaict. Yep, I'm still interested, the only problem is lack of time, and also the difficulty/time taken to write a spec and start banging out code... I started writting it, but it's time consuming handling all the constants, etc. necessary for such a large variety of options... If people don't mind a base implementation in python, then I might get back to it... (and let someone else write the C parts of it)... A recommendation to people who are looking at doing a video api, make sure you read through some video docs and think you understand how it works... The Zoran 36067 MJPEG datasheet is what started me on it... they let you hang multiple encoders and decoders on a single video bus... of course you can have only one chip driving a bus at a time, but there are various features like PIP where one chip will not drive the video bus for part of the frame while another chip drives the bus durning this time, and support things like mirroring the data on the bus to both the MJPEG engine, the s-video encoder chip, and the overlay engine for display to the video frame buffer (I don't remeber if the Zoran MJPEG chip supports both MJPEG and video overlay at the same time)... The V4L api lacks these features, though, none of these features are needed for the basic web cam... Another thing that drove me to the design of VideoBSD was the desire to put the least amount of code in the kernel... This would make it easier to plug-in userland usb webcam implementations (like the opti userland usb webcam image capture program that just needs ugen), and not a set of special ioctls for a program to interface with it... Hopefully this will inspire some people... and if someone can get me the specs to the ATI HDTV Wonder card, I'd definately look at reviving the project (I already have the card, just need the specs..) -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."

I added 'sound engineer' level support for a popular older chip (complete with amp analog and digital db references, total access to all signal paths on the chip, etc.) a while ago and contributed it, but as I haven't heard anything more about it (and I don't see it as part of the system now) either I screwed up some royal way I am unaware of, or sound and video support really just are not a priority for freebsd-niks. I even wrote a man page for it. Now, I'm new to all this *nix world and though I've spent a career writing drivers for fussy chips it's my first go at freebsd, so maybe I have violated some technical or social rule I just didn't know about and that's why things are as they are. But, if the traffic on list multi-media list is any indication, over against the traffic on other lists, multimedia on freebsd seems a bit of a lower-interest arena.

For testing igain, set recording source to cd, play an audio-CD and record it, for example with wavrec (from the wavplay port). Crank up the igain mixer and the recording should become louder.

It's error, but the driver try to use IO ports. So if it work for you you can ignore this. It seems that early revision of the chip uses IO port only. There had been several reports for the failure of this type of IO memory allocation. Linux drvier for maestro3 also seems to use IO port only. > the card seems to work fine. > How about hardware volume control and suspend/resume? > thanks in advance > > raoul > rmgls@wanadoo.fr -- Regards, Pyun YongHyeon From owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Aug 27 07:40:44 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: multimedia@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CFB7D16A41F; Sat, 27 Aug 2005 07:40:44 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from jay@codegurus.org) Received: from ptb-relay03.plus.net (ptb-relay03.plus.net [212.159.14.214]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7EAD543D46; Sat, 27 Aug 2005 07:40:44 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from jay@codegurus.org) Received: from [84.92.156.191] (helo=[192.168.0.5]) by ptb-relay03.plus.net with esmtp (Exim) id 1E8vIv-0004c8-Px; Sat, 27 Aug 2005 08:40:42 +0100 Message-ID: <431018F9.4030009@codegurus.org> Date: Sat, 27 Aug 2005 08:40:41 +0100 From: Jayton Garnett User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.2 (X11/20050404) X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: stable@freebsd.org, multimedia@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: Subject: RE: USB X-BeenThere: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Multimedia discussions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 27 Aug 2005 07:40:45 -0000 Hi, There seems to be a need for a web cam streamer for FreeBSD so I have figured out a VERY tempary solution. I just created a web cam "steam" (just a page auto-refresh every 60 seconds). The webcam: Logitech Quickcam Express http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/GB/EN,CRID=2204,CONTENTID=5037 The software: qcamview (you can view a REAL stream with this, but we need qcamshot that comes with it) WebMagick (we only need the convert utility that comes with this) What I did and why I did it? I wanted a webcam stream for my friends/family in Australia, South Africa and the UK. Added a user called cam to the wheel group. added some lines to /etc/devfs.conf: #Webcam own /dev/ugen0 root:wheel perm /dev/ugen0 0644 own /dev/ugen0.1 root:wheel perm /dev/ugen0.1 0644 own /dev/ugen0.2 root:wheel perm /dev/ugen0.2 0644 made a simple script named webcam.sh in my home dir, it looks like this: #!/usr/local/bin/bash qcamshot > ./~/public_html/image.ppm convert -despeckle ./~public_html/image.ppm ./~public_html/image.jpg chmod 755 ./~/public_html/image.jpg Now I added a line to my /etc/crontab: #Run the script every minute. */1 * * * * cam /home/cam/./webcam.sh Then created a html file with the refresh tag set to 60, kinda looks like: Sorry if this does not relate to what anyone really needs, but it is 02:39am and im tired :-) and thought at least 1 other person might need this, you can alter the crontab to take images more frequently and set the refresh accordingly. For a FreeBSD NON-guru i feel pretty good that I managed this. wo0t! Hope someone finds this useful. Cheers, Jay... a very sleepy one...

If you find something wrong, please report it here and/or in our PR database. Much better would be a patch which corrects the error, but just a report about outdated content is better than not knowing about the problem at all.
